The scariest thing about Halloween is the shocking number of calories we can consume in one go without a second thought. It’s like an autumnal version of Easter, just replace the fluffy bunnies and clucking chicks with horrifying clowns and spooky skeletons.

Express Vending have crunched the numbers and discovered just how many houses both adults and children would have to trick or treat in order to burn off the sweets they might receive in exchange. While a measly packet of Parma Violets will only set you back 3-4 houses, a full sized Mars Bar could add up to over 40!

We’ve, rather sneakily, calculated this information by looking into not only the number of calories adults and children can burn while walking, but also how many houses they can theoretically trick or treat in that time frame.

So, whether you go as a worrisome werewolf, a vicious vampire, a mischievous mummy, or a perilous pirate, keep a watch on your waist this Halloween, and enjoy those treats in moderation!
